% on
the excess of his sales over Rs. 10,000. If his income is Rs. 1250, find the value of the goods sold by him.
Total Income = 1250 in which:
8% commission on amount 10000 = 10000(0.08) = 800
Bonus Commission = 1250 800= 450
On every extra 100 Rs sales agent receives 8% plus % = 8.25% portion of commission of total amount
which means that 450 Rs is a 8.25 portion of 100 percent so the total extra amount will be:
450

Mr. Zia Hussain allowed the salesman 6% commission on total sales made by him plus a bonus 4
% on the excess of his sales over Rs. 10,000. If his total earnings are Rs. 1140. Find the value of the
goods sold by him.
6% Commission on 10000 = 10000(0.06) 600
Commission on extra sale = 1140 600 = 540
As we know that 540 is 6% plus 0.75% total 6.75% of extra sales then extra sales will be:
540
Sales above 10000 = 6.75 x 100 = 8000
Total Sales = 10000 + 8000 = 18000

In 1990, a salesman was paid 5% commission on sales. In 1991, the rate was increased to 6% and his
sales also increased by Rs. 2000. If his remuneration in 1991 exceeded that 1990 by Rs. 220, find out
the value of goods sold by him in each year.
6% commission on increased sale = 2000(0.06) = 120
1% on sale of 1990 = unknown
Both commission are = 220
120 + 1% on sale of 1990 = 220
1% on sale of 1990 = 220 120 = 100
If 1% commission on sale is = 100 then total sales of 1990 = 100 x 100 = 10000
Sales of 1991 = Sale of 1990 + Increased Sale of 2000 = 10000 + 2000 = 12000
